'''Poisonous Pipeline''' is the thirty-fifth [[level]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', the fifth level of [[Kaos Kore]], and the final level of the game, not including those from [[Krematoa]]. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, it is the forty-first level instead, due to the introduction of [[Pacifica]] and its six levels. Poisonous Pipeline takes place in a long, flooded pipeline, and for almost the entire level, [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] must swim through poisonous, purple liquid. The liquid does not harm the [[Kong]]s although it reverses the left and right buttons on the player's directional input. For the first half, the Kongs must swim to the bottom. During the second half, they must swim back up to the top to reach the [[Level Flag]] on the other side. For most of the first half, the Kongs can enter an [[Animal Barrel]] to transform into [[Enguarde]] up until the [[No Animal Sign]], which is shortly after the [[Star Barrel]].
'''Poisonous Pipeline''' is the thirty-fifth [[level]] in the ''[[Donkey Kong (series)|Donkey Kong]]'' game, ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. It is also the fifth area of [[KAOS Kore]]. In the game's [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, it is instead the forty-first level.

[[File:Poisonous Pipeline GBA Lurchins.png|thumb|left|Poisonous Pipeline in the Game Boy Advance version]]
At the beginning of the level, the Kongs swim through a long pipeline, passing many Lurchins and Kocos. At the end of the long pathway, the Kongs head through a smaller area downwards and swim left. They will meet more enemies here, especially the shell-covered Lurchins. Soon, they take a small pathway down to a lower part of the level. There, they will travel east and head down the first opening they see. Continuing downwards, they find [[KONG Letters|the letter O]] and move to the right to find an upward pathway. Swimming around a few Lurchins, they make it to a slightly higher area, where they pass a large group of Lurchins and move downwards. They head through a thin pipe, where they find the [[Star Barrel]].


About halfway through the level, the Kongs enter another long area, where they swim down a large pipeline and avoid countless schools of enemies. Soon, they find two Lurchins moving through a small pathway. Going under the enemies, they make their way into another area. There, they pass several Kocos and also find the letter K in an above alcove. Farther on, the Kongs pass many more Lurchins, assisted by the small Kocos. Once they begin to take an upward pathway at the end of the area, they will dodge some Kocos and travel west. Shortly after going this direction, they will come up to another pathway, which they should head up. They move around a few Lurchins as they make their way into the next part of the level, where they travel east past more enemies. Heading up again, they sneak between two Lurchins to see yet another upwards pathway. If they continue up from this area, they will eventually reach the surface of the poisonous water. On the nearby platform, they will also see a flagpole. If they pull on the end of the flagpole, the level will end.
This level takes place in a mostly-flooded pipeline. The pipeline is filled with a poisonous, purple liquid, that can reverse the player's left and right movements. The Kongs will have to swim around with these reversed directions, which can be fairly confusing, as sometimes, they may forget about the revered directions, and move into a nearby enemy. Of these enemies include the underwater foes, [[Lurchin]]s and [[Koco]]s, as well as a single [[Krimp]] found in a dry area of the stage. Though these enemies could become a problem for the heroes, they will eventually meet, [[Enguarde the Swordfish]], who will help them defeat these foes for a short time.

At the beginning of the level, the heroes will swim through a long pipeline. Moving along the poisoned path with their messed up directions, they will pass many Lurchins and Kocos, who will try to hinder their progress. At the end of the long pathway, the Kongs will head through a smaller area downwards and swim to the west. They will meet more enemies here, especially the shell-covered Lurchins. Soon, they will take a small pathway down to a lower part of the level. There, they will travel east and head down the first opening they see. Continuing downwards, they will find the letter O and move to the right to find an upward pathway. Maneuvering around a few Lurchins, they will make it to a slightly higher area, where they will pass a large group of Lurchins and move downwards.

==Items and objects==
About halfway through the level, the monkeys will enter another long area, where they will swim down a large pipeline and avoid countless schools of enemies. Soon, they will find two Lurchins moving through a small pathway. Going under the foes, they will make their way into another area. There, they will pass several Kocos and also find the letter K in an above alcove. Farther on, the Kongs will pass many more Lurchins, assisted by the small Kocos. Once they begin to take an upward pathway at the end of the area, they will dodge some Kocos and travel west. Shortly after going this direction, they will come up to another pathway, which they should head up. They will move around a few Lurchins as they make their way into the next part of the level, where they will travel east past more enemies. Heading up again, they will sneak between two Lurchins to see yet another upwards pathway. If they continue north from this area, they will eventually reach the surface of the poisonous gas. On the nearby platform, they will also see a flagpole. If they pull on the end of the flagpole, the level will end.
The following items and objects appear in the following quantities:

#About a fourth of the way through the level, the heroes will notice a Koco swimming between two Lurchins. They should dodge this foe and get between the Lurchins to find a [[Bonus Barrel]]. The barrel will take them to a [[Bonus Level]], where they will need to swim through another poisoned area with Enguarde. With this fish, the player will have to defeat several enemies. Once all these enemies are beat, they will earn a [[Bonus Coin]].

#Near the end of the level, the heroes will swim between two Lurchins around two Kocos. If they continue to the left from here, passing several Lurchins, they will find a passageway going downwards. Following this pathway, they will soon come up to a Bonus Barrel that will take them to a Bonus Level. There, they will have to swim in a large circle through the pipeline, collecting stars. If they collect all the stars withing the time limit, they will find a Bonus Coin back at the start.

===DK Coin===
[[File:Poisonous Pipeline DKC3 Koin.png|thumb|The Koin of Poisonous Pipeline]]
#After the heroes find the letter G, they should jump to the surface of the liquid and land on a platform with a [[Koin]], who will have the [[DK Coin]]. They will have to defeat him to get it. The enemy's shield will protect him from most attacks, so the heroes will have no choice but to use the nearby [[Steel Barrel|steel barrel]]. With the barrel, they should stand on the foe's shield and throw it against the wall to the right. The barrel will bounce off of the wall and hit the side of the Koin, defeating him. With the Koin knocked out, the DK Coin will be given to the Kongs.
Right above the letter G, the Kongs must jump out the water and onto a small platform. A [[Iron Barrel|Steel Barrel]] and the [[Koin]] are on the platform. Dixie or Kiddy must pick up the Steel Barrel and throw it at the wall on the right. The Steel Barrel then bounces back and hits Koin from behind, which defeats him and rewards the [[DK Coin]] to the Kongs.

*'''Bash the Baddies!''': After a platform with a Krimp, the Kongs must go down and then swim all the way left to find a Bonus Barrel behind two Lurchins. The Kongs must swim between the two Lurchins to enter the [[Bonus Barrel]]. In the [[Bonus Level]], the Kongs are automatically transformed into Enguarde, who has 25 seconds to defeat numerous Kocos, after which the [[Bonus Coin (Donkey Kong franchise)|Bonus Coin]] appears.
*'''Collect 30 Stars!''': Near the end of the level, when the Kongs find a banana trail in a gap leading to the Level Flag, they must ignore it and swim left past three Lurchins. They must then swim down around two Lurchins that move up and down a tight passage. The Bonus Barrel is at the very bottom. In the Bonus Level, the Kongs have 25 seconds to collect 30 [[Star (Donkey Kong franchise)|star]]s in a circular area. The stars are arranged as a trail that loops to the left back at the starting point, where the Bonus Coin appears. When the Kongs return to the main level, they are sent under the letter G.
